Introduction

This example lesson is for Prathom one students (grade 1); however, the process involved can be used for any primary school class. With different videos, it is possible to make lessons for any level of class as long as you have the imagination and time to complete the task as there is a considerable amount of preparation involved by the teacher.

Lessons such as this have been conducted in rural as well as urban contexts with similar results. Experimentation was initially carried out at Bantatprachanukoon School, in Ban Phue district and then at the Demonstration School at Udon Thani Rajabhat University, Udon Thani province. The students liked the activities, they completed the activities successfully and have demonstrated that they can remember what they had learned as long as the material was reviewed and recycled on a regular basis.
